  Hi — I have a WordPress (2.1.3) blog. I’m the “admin” and I allow others to register by default as “author”, becuase I want to let them post as well.

  It happened several times that someone else registered, without posting anything. Later, whenever I post something new or edit something old, it is now granted that new user id (as if he/she posted it).

  I can manually fix the problem in the database each time (update wp_posts set post_author=1 where post_author=<the-wrong-number>), but why does it happen and how can I fix the problem in general?

  You are in the wrong forum -> http://wordpress.org/support is the forum for self-hosting bloggers with wordpress.org software. This forum is ONLY for those with free hosted wordpress.com blogs and we cannot help you here as we run on different software.
